The Ex Wife They Begged To Keep - Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Keith had barely hung up the phone ten minutes ago. Even if he'd found her location immediately, it should have taken him much longer to get here. Serena had expected it would take at least half an hour for him to arrive, which would have been impressive timing. "When you left the office, Graham sensed something was off and came to find me pretty quickly, I Keith explained. Keith and Serena had suspected Chandler might get desperate and do something reckless, so they'd already planned to install the tracking app on her phone.

When Keith activated Serena's location tracker and saw she was heading toward the city's outskirts, he knew something had gone wrong. That phone call was just a stalling tactic. He was also worried that if Chandler couldn't get the money, he might hurt his hostage. "Thank God you're okay," Keith whispered. That phone call had definitely caught Chandler off guard.
